CIRCUIT INSPECTION
DTC 11 Short in Squib Circuit (to Ground)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The squib circuit consists of the airbag sensor assembly, spiral cable, steering wheel pad and front passen-
ger airbag assembly. If causes the SRS to deploy when the SRS deployment conditions are satisfied.
For details of the function of each component, see FUNCTION OF COMPONENTS on page RS-2.
DTC 11 is recorded when ground short is detected in the squib circuit.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Preparation. (See step 1 on page DI-177)
2 Check D squib circuit.
CHECK:
For the connector (on the spiral cable side) between the spiral
cable and steering wheel pad, measure the resistance between
D
+, D- and body ground.
OK:
Resistance: 1MW or higher
NG Go to step 7.
OK

3 Check P squib circuit.
CHECK:
For the connector (on the airbag sensor assembly side) be-
tween the airbag sensor assembly and front passenger airbag
assembly, measure the resistance between P
+, P- and body
ground.

4 Check airbag sensor assembly.
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect connector to airbag sensor assembly.
(b) Using a service wire, connect D+ and D- on spiral cable
side of connector between spiral cable and steering
wheel pad.
(c) Using a service wire, connect P+ and P- on airbag sensor
assembly side of connector between airbag sensor as-
sembly and front passenger airbag assembly.
(d) Connect negative (-) terminal cable to battery, and wait
at least 2 seconds.
CHECK:
(a) Turn ignition switch to ACC or ON and wait at least 20 se-
conds.
(b) Clear malfunction code stored in memory.
(See page DI-148)
(c) Turn ignition switch to LOCK, and wait at least 20 se-
conds.
(d) Turn ignition switch to ACC or ON, and wait at least 20 se-
conds.
(e) Using SST, connect terminals Tc and E1 of DLC 1.

(f) Check DTC
OK:
DTC 11 is not output.
HINT:
Codes other than code 11 may be output at this time, but they
are not relevant to this check.
NG Replace airbag sensor assembly.
OK

From the results of the above inspection, the malfunctioning part can now be considered normal.
To make sure of this, use the simulation method to check. If the malfunctioning part can not be
detected by the simulation method, replace all SRS components including the wire harness.
